do u think something like this would work .... just wondering seen it on z31.com Coilover installation

 

okay............

 

Coilover installation

 

take note of how tall those struts are.
ours are about 1/2 that up front.

 

Jeff, its for a Z31 so obviously it should relate and easily fit a 3rd gen MAXIMA...duh stooopid

 

Wtf 4567890

 

I didnt know they had coilovers for 3rd gens.

 

Use the ones for the Z31, they bolt right up

 

nice now I my suspension taken care of

 

OOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
there is no currently produced coil over setup for a 3rd gen nissan MAXIMA.

 

I am selling the Brooklyn bridge, would you like to buy it?

 

2nd dibs

 

whats that?? Mizeree is trying to be funny??

 

I think you should do more research before you go out and buy z31 (chevy) (american) coilover sping set up and try and install them on a 3rd gen maxima (nissan) (japan).

Dont take info here to seriously people can be sarcastic somedays when the wrong questions is asked. DO like internetautomar said and messure the hight of the coil overs compared to our cars and you tell us if the set up will work. Also see if the z31 springs fit in our struts? Since you dont need a compresion tool for coilovers, is it adjustable enough for you too install our strut? good questions to know before you try the install.

edit: oh and check on ebay for the lowest model year for coilovers for a max (should be 95?) your car should be 89-94.

 

Z31 = 84-89 Nissan 300ZX. But still, its not like they are gonna bolt right in. Hey, whitemax28, I wish you nothing but the best of luck. Let me know when they are installed.

 

Z24 = chevy Cavalier
Z28= chevy Camaro
Z31= 84-89 300z
z32= 90-96 300z
z33 = current 350z and skyline
Z34 = chevy monte carlo / lumina with a 3.4

the 4th gen uses taller struts, so don't count on the coilovers working.

 

Hmmm, that's just disturbing seeing that the Z and chevy have similar model names...

 

nothing like nissan stealing codes

 

but on the chevy's they are just trim levels not actual model names, chevy model names are a letter code, for example f body, or just about any other letter for that matter....

 

a Z31 isn't an actual model name either, it's a chassis designation

 

you people are trippin this is a 84- 89 nissan 300zx z31 ****... dumn *** not chevy..no they dont make coilovers for the 3rd gen max.. thats why i posted this site.. to see if you can do that setup.. look at the pics those r the same rear sturts on the max........ thats what im doing research...

 

huh? none of the suspension components on the Z are similar to the maxima. the Z is rwd so has a totally different front strut design and from the looks of the picture the rear Z suspension components aren't even struts... it looks like a spring and shock combo.

 

Your the one that's "trippin" a--hole. I know that's a 300zx, I own one, we're just messing around and giving stupid answers because it's a stupid question that you asked. As it was mentioned before, that setup is for a rear wheel drive car and won't help you with the rear struts on your maxima, unless you have a very rare maxima with a Z31 rear wheel drive suspension
Good luck with your coilover project, there is someone on the .org who was working on coilovers in a third gen but I'm not sure he finished it, I think it was madmax024 or something, I really don't remember.

BTW:The Z doesn't even have rear struts, they're shocks.

 

Damm I hope that thread dont get ANy dumber than this one and the sr20de swap

 

SHOCK/STRUTS...SPRINGS/COILS....tamato/tomato

cant we all just get along.

 

Now that's a good one

 

Well hey hows the project coming. GOt them on?

 

agreed. the z31s front and rear suspension is soooooo different that the 3rd gen. a z31 handles quite nice for its age...
